5GD-F

Overview

The Bivar Inc. 5GD-F is a single-color through-hole LED indicator with a 5mm T-1 3/4 package and diffused lens. It emits green light at a peak wavelength of 568 nm with an intensity of 25 mcd. The component features a 40-degree viewing angle, a forward voltage of 2.2 V, and operates at a forward current of 20 mA. It utilizes a flanged design for secure panel mounting.

Feature Summary

• Diffused lens provides a uniform light distribution with a 40-degree viewing angle
• Flanged body design facilitates secure panel mount installation
• Single-color green emission optimized for visual status indication

Applications

• Panel-mounted equipment status indicators
• Control board power state visualization
• Industrial machinery operational signaling

Procurement Notes

Verify the specific datasheet version as the 5GD-F may be subject to discontinuation or replacement by newer variants such as the MPC5GTWX.X-CC series. Confirm mechanical dimensions and electrical ratings against the official Bivar documentation prior to integration to ensure compatibility with existing panel cutouts and drive circuits.

Selection Notes

Select this component when a diffused green indicator with a flanged mounting style is required. The 5mm through-hole format suits standard PCB layouts, while the 40-degree beam width offers focused visibility compared to wider-angle alternatives. Ensure the 2.2V forward voltage aligns with the system's logic levels or current limiting requirements.

Part Context

This part belongs to Bivar’s line of single-color LED circuit board and panel indicators. It represents a standard through-hole solution designed for reliable visual feedback in electronic assemblies. The product family emphasizes durable construction and consistent optical performance for industrial and commercial applications.

Replacement Considerations

Consult Bivar documentation for potential substitutes like the MPC5GTWX.X-CC series if the 5GD-F is discontinued. Verify that any replacement maintains the same 5mm diameter, flanged configuration, and green spectral output to preserve mechanical and optical compatibility.
